Volunteer tutors sought to support adult English literacy

AURORA—The Adult Literacy Project at Waubonsee Community College is seeking volunteer tutors to help adult students increase their proficiency in reading, writing and speaking English, as well as math and other basic skills.
All training and materials are provided at no charge.

The Adult Literacy Project will offer a two-day tutor training program with sessions on Saturdays, March 8 and March 15, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Waubonsee’s Aurora Campus, 18 S. River St.

Alternatively, tutors can participate in a 10-hour online training session.

Prospective tutors must complete the training sessions and complete a background check before working with adult learners individually or in a classroom setting.
